- All is not gold that glitters.
Rome was not built in a day.
When the cat is out the mice can play.
Hills are green far away.
Hunger is good sauce.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Live horse and you'll get hay.
Every dog is stiff at his own door.
Praise a fair day at night.
The day always finds fault with the night's work.
One black lad knows another.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A half a loaf is better than no bread.
Smooth waters run deep.
Don't take the ook by the cover.
A wet and windy May fills the haggard with corn and hay.(continues on next page)
